Facing problem with open modeless dialog from modal window

Hi All,

In my application, I have to open a modeless dialog from a modal window. As in windows say Notepad: File->Open - the dialog is modal (browser window). Open the property page for any file from the “Open” dialog - property page is non-modal & can be accessed. The “Open” dialog can be closed but the property page still remains open.
I have tried but if property dialog is made modal then this behavior cannot be achieved & if made modeless then it cannot be accessed.
